I have an application that currently run accross on five (5) RS/6000
7011-250 66Mhz PowerPC. I would like to consolidate these servers onto
a sun platform. Will a single Sunfire V210 with 2 1.3GHz processors be
able to handle the load of all five RS/6000 ?

That depends on the application, but I'd guesstimate that the V210 has
more than enough CPU power and memory.

Another limiting factor is I/O performance - if the disks in the RS6k
machines are at their limit you'd better add some external disks to
the V210.

Just my $.02,
Jens

If the application is not heavy on floating point, then you you could
consider a T1000, 8x1GHz cores should compare well against 5x66MHz! And
of course, you could get it on Try & Buy, if it does not work out, send
it back and get the V210.

Can V210 handle load of several RS6000
